Find the minimum number of stones that needs to be recolored.

Constraints

1 \leq N \leq 2\times 10^5

S is a string of length N consisting of . and #.

Solution in C (GCC 5.4.1) (judge verdict: Wrong Answer)

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
  int N;
  char S[200000];
  scanf("%d",&N);
  scanf("%s",&S);

  int i,j,k,x;
  for(i=0;i<N-1;i++){
    if(S[i]=='#'&&S[i+1]=='.'){
      S[i+1]='#';
      j++;
    }
  }
  for(i=0;i<N-1;i++){
    if(S[i]=='#'&&S[i+1]=='.'){
      S[i]='.';
      k++;
    }
  }
  if(j<k){
      x=j;
  }
  else{
    x=k;
  }
  printf("%d",x);

  return 0;
