Error code when adding options to My First Menu exercise.

Am reviewing the exercise at https://teamtreehouse.com/library/creating-a-plugin-settings-page-2, which requires you to add the add_options_page items to function my_plugin_menu.

Am getting an error message "syntax error, unexpected ',' in plugin.php on line 5", with the following code:

function my_plugin_menu() {
  add_options_page(){
    'My Plugin Settings Page',
    'My Plugin',
    'manage-options',
    'my-plugin-menu',
    'my_plugin_options_page'
  }

Also, for the Treehouse dev team, the order in which parameters are requested to be input isn't consistent with the instructional video starting this unit at https://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-build-a-wordpress-plugin/building-a-wordpress-plugin-settings-page/how-to-create-a-plugin-template-with-a-settings-page-2

Within the video, user access options are specified in the third item, while in the interactive exercise, they appear to be specified for the fourth.

I fixed it - should have been: ...php function my_plugin_menu() { add_options_page( 'My Plugin Settings Page', 'My Plugin', 'manage-options', 'my-plugin-menu', 'my_plugin_options_page'); ...
