Before adding AngularJS, we do not have script folder in our Solution Explorer but now, we can see the script folder. We can see all scripts and support files inside the script folder.

Code

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
  
<head> 
 <meta charset="utf-8" /> 
 <script src="Scripts/angular.js"></script> 
 <title></title> 
</head> 
  
<body ng-app> 
 <h2>Welcome to angularJS Test Page</h2> <br  /> 
 <h3>Addition</h3> {{10+10}} <br  /> 
 <h3>Subtraction</h3> {{30-10}} <br  /> 
 <h3>Multiplication</h3> {{5*4}} <br  /> 
 <h3>Division</h3> {{100/5}} <br  /> </body> 
  
</html>

Step 9

Build and run the application. We can see the exact output so our AngularJS application is working correctly. We developed simple AngularJS page using which we have added script.
