PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following

This PL/SQL statement:

FUNCTION f_comparestring(ps_string1 VARCHAR2, ps_string2 VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
          ps_match VARCHAR2(5);
        BEGIN
          IF (ps_string1 = ps_strin2) THEN
            ps_match := 'TRUE';
          ELSE
            ps_match := 'FALSE';
          END IF;
          RETURN ps_match;
        END;

Raises the following error:

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following: begin end function pragma procedure

I am pretty much at a loss. This appears to be a rather simple statement. Can anyone help?

It should be ps_string2 not ps_strin2 in the IF. To create a function you need to use create function

You also need a / after the PL/SQL block.
For details see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10207695/330315

So the correct statement is:

CREATE FUNCTION f_comparestring(ps_string1 VARCHAR2, ps_string2 VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
  ps_match VARCHAR2(5);
BEGIN
  IF (ps_string1 = ps_string2) THEN
    ps_match := 'TRUE';
  ELSE
    ps_match := 'FALSE';
  END IF;
  RETURN ps_match;
END;
