I'm having trouble with the jQuery....

The jQuery is not working for some reason.... It's not hiding the system or anything

//Hide spoilers
$(".spoilers span").hide();
//Add a button
$(".spoiler").append("<button>Click here to reveal spoilers</button>");
//Reveal spoilers

//Hide the button

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Star Wars Spoilers</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" title="no title" charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
    <img src="img/deathstar.png" />
    <p class="spoiler">
        <!--Spoiler:-->
        <span>Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's Father! Noooooooooooo!</span>
    </p>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.0.0.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
    <script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
</body>
</html>

You are so close! 

$(".spoiler").append("<button> Reveal Spoiler!</button>");

Everything here is case sensitive!

$(".spoilers span").hide();

The paragraph class is "spoiler" so your code should be

$(".spoiler span").hide();
