Help with empty anonymous function, Jquery Basics

The "Get Help" wasn't working for me, for some reason, so I'm pasting my code here in hopes that someone can help me. I was asked to add an empty anonymous function after the click handler. What's wrong with my code? (last line)

//1, Hide spoiler
$(".spoiler span").hide();
//2, Add a button
$(".spoiler").append("<button>Reveal Spoiler!</button>");
//3, When button pressed
$("button").click();
  //3.1, Show spoiler
  //3.2, Get rid of button
$("button").click()('function'(){});

//1, Hide spoiler 
$(".spoiler span").hide(); 
//2, Add a button 
$(".spoiler").append("Reveal Spoiler!"); 
//3, When button pressed 
$("button").click(function (){}); 
//3.1, Show spoiler 
//3.2, Get rid of button

I can't check the task right now but it sounds like you want to add the function that happens when the button is clicked. And technically the 3.1 should be inside the curly braces of the function but my phone drives me crazy and I won't mess with it any more.

Thanks, Falk. You're right, looks like I left something out. My husband is a tech wiz who knows several programming languages, so I am going to run this by him tonight.
