Why is this not passing?

Cant figure out what the problem is

js/app.js
//Prevent spoilerphobes from seeing spoilers
//Solution: Hide spoilers and reveal them through user interaction

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

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

you need to close your function declaration "()" on the click method.

("Button").click(function (){

});//remember to close the declaration here
