What's wrong with my spoiler reveal?

I checked it against the final project files but can't seem to find the error. I'm on Part 3 of the Spoiler Reveal challenge (under jQuery).

The button isn't showing up, just the reveal.

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

You have a closing parenthesis ) at line 11 which is never opened. Also, I believe that line 10 should be written like this: $(this).remove();

I think Christian is referring to this line where the click method is also closing the anonymous function

$("button").click(function)() {

to

$("button").click(function() {
