Question

Here is my code:

$scope.people = [\"Tom\", \"Dick\", \"Harry\"];
$scope.count = $scope.people.length;
}

function ChildCtrl($scope)         


        

Answer 1

The $scope inheritance is based upon where you reference your controllers using ng-controller.

If you have something like

Then yes, the child controller will inherit the properties of the parent controller.

Note : The child controller need not be defined on the direct child in the html. It can be any child within.
