Bootstrap 3 Datepicker doesn't show calendar

I've included the following in my page:

In the <head>

Bottom of <body>

<!-- Bootstrap datepicker -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.4.0/js/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js"></script>

Then I used jQuery to turn my form's input field into the datepicker:

<div class="form-group">
    <div class='input-group date' id='datetimepicker1'>
        <input type='text' class="form-control" />
        <span class="input-group-addon">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
        </span>
    </div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker();
    });
</script>

The input field got styled like a date picker(field with a calendar icon at the end), but when I click anywhere on that field or the icon the calendar doesn't show up.

I've re-read the Installation tutorial but I don't see anything missing.

Add datetimepicker1 To <input type='text' class="form-control" id="datetimepicker1" />

and $('#datetimepicker1').datepicker(); not $('#datetimepicker1').datetimepicker();

Wokring here :

</head>
<body>


<div class="form-group">
    <div class='input-group date' >
        <input type='text' class="form-control" id="datetimepicker1" />
        <span class="input-group-addon">
            <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
        </span>
    </div>
</div>

if you opened the browser console,you would have seen an exception error in the console,like bootstrap JS requires jquery or so

<!-- Latest compiled and minified jQuery Core -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/js/bootstrap.min.js">    </script>

this should work

Replace

  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datepicker/1.4.0/js/bootstrap-datepicker.min.js"></script>

By

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootstrap-datetimepicker/4.14.30/js/bootstrap-datetimepicker.min.js"></script>

You should get TypeError: $(...).datetimepicker is not a function in the browser console.

Because you include only datepicker not datetimepicker.
