Trying to make my own WP Plugin. What's wrong with my syntax?

Question

Hi Everyone, I'm getting the below error message when I test my own WP Plugin. The error message and my syntax is below. What am I doing wrong?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in C:\wamp\www\wp-practice\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\wp-treehousebadges\wptreehouse-badges.php on line 25

function wptreehouse_badges_menu(){

/* 
  Use the add_options_page function
  add_options_page( $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function);
*/

add_options_page{
    'Official Teehouse Badges Plugin',
 'Treehouse Badges',
 'manage_options',
 'wptreehouse-badges',
 'wptreehouse_badges_options_page'
};

}
add_action('admin_menu','wptreehouse_badges_menu');

function wptreehouse_badges_options_page(){

if(!current_user_can('manage_options')){
wp_die('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.');
 }

 echo '<p>Welcome to our plugin page!</p>';

}

Hint: I think you've added a curly brace instead of a bracket after "add_options_page".

Perhaps try out the below:

function wptreehouse_badges_menu() {

/*
 *  Use the add_options_page function
 *  add_options_page( $page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu-slug, $function ) 
 *
*/

add_options_page(
    'Official Treehouse Badges',
    'Treehouse Badges',
    'manage_options',
    'wptreehouse-badges',
    'wptreehouse_badges_options_page'
);

}
