I am getting Error: [ng:areq] Argument 'nameController' is not a function

Question

I am getting following error

Error: [ng:areq] Argument 'nameController' is not a function, got undefined http://errors.angularjs.org/1.3.7/ng/areq?p0=nameController&p1=not%20a%20function%2C%20got%20undefined

    at compositeLinkFn (angular.js:7073)
    at compositeLinkFn (angular.js:7076)
    at publicLinkFn (angular.js:6952)

I tried to change the version of angular to lower one and also used CDN but it didn't work. Tried checking syntax error as well.

Is my function declartion correct? How to resolve this error.

After angular 1.3, you could not use global declaration of angular controller. For fixing this issue you need to create angular module first and then assign the angular component to it like controller, directive, service, factory, filters, etc.

// Code goes here
angular.module('app',[])
.controller('nameController', nameController)
function nameController($scope) {
    $scope.firstName = 'allen';
    $scope.lastName = 'martin';
}

then use the created module on ng-app="app" in your html.
