formatting error with showFactButton

I cant figure out how to format the showFactButton in the challenge task, I tried to farmat it like the factTextView, but it didn't work, any suggestions?

FunFactsActivity.java 
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class FunFactsActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_fun_facts);

        // Declare our View variables and assign them the Views from the layout file
        TextView factLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.factTextView);
        Button showFactButton;
        Button factLabel = (Button) findViewbyId(R.id.showFactButton);
    }
}

You still need to use the name showFactButton instead of 'factLabel` (as well as get rid of the double declaration).
