Controller not a function, got undefined, while defining controllers globally

Question

I am writing a sample application using angularjs. i got an error mentioned below on chrome browser.

Error is

Error: [ng:areq] http://errors.

Answer 1

I got the same error while following an old tutorial with (not old enough) AngularJS 1.4.3. By far the simplest solution is to edit angular.js source from

function $ControllerProvider() {
  var controllers = {},
      globals = false;

to

function $ControllerProvider() {
  var controllers = {},
      globals = true;

and just follow the tutorial as-is, and the deprecated global functions just work as controllers.
