Don't get anonymous functions part 2 question

Not sure what to do. The comment keeps saying "you're missing a parenthesis at the end" but I don't get it.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>JavaScript Foundations: Functions</title>
    <style>
      html {
        background: #FAFAFA;
        font-family: sans-serif;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>JavaScript Foundations</h1>
    <h2>Functions: Anonymous Functions</h2>
    <script>
      var anonymousFunction = function() {
      };

      (function (anonymousFunction) {
        window.didExecute = true;
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Your code should look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>JavaScript Foundations: Functions</title>
    <style>
      html {
        background: #FAFAFA;
        font-family: sans-serif;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>JavaScript Foundations</h1>
    <h2>Functions: Anonymous Functions</h2>
    <script>
      var anonymousFunction = function() {};

      (function () {
        window.didExecute = true;
      }) ();
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
