I've entered the code as it is in the tutorial but it still isn't working. Why have I missed out?

I've entered everything i've been told but I can't seem to get the button to appear. Is there something i'm missing out?

This is my code:

//problem: prevent spoiler being seen //solution: hide spoilers and realvel through user interaction

//1, hide spoiler $(".spoiler span".hide(); //2, add button $(".spoiler").append("<button>Reveal Spoiler!</button>"); //3, when button pressed //3.1, show spoiler //3.2, get rid of button

There is one end bracket missing: after $(".spoiler span"

$(".spoiler span").hide();
$(".spoiler").append("Reveal Spoiler!");
