Here's a hint: what do you think the escape character \ does to the newline at the end of that line?

Yes, that's right, it escapes it, effectively bringing the closing brace on the next line into the comment.

Hence, you're missing a closing brace.

Maybe you should keep your emotions out of the code :-)
