Problem Statement

There are N stones arranged in a row. Every stone is painted white or black.
A string S represents the color of the stones. The i-th stone from the left is white if the i-th character of S is ., and the stone is black if the character is #.

Takahashi wants to change the colors of some stones to black or white so that there will be no white stone immediately to the right of a black stone.
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 #.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N
S

Output

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

Sample Input 1

3

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

#include <stdio.h>

int min(int a,int b){
  if(a < b){
    return a;
  }
  return b;
}

int main(void){
  int N;
  scanf("%d",&N);

  char S[N];
  scanf("%s",S);

  int cnt1 = 0,cnt2 = 0;
  for(int i = 0;i < N;i++){
    if(S[i] == '.') cnt1++;
    if(i == N-1) break;
    if(S[i] == '#') cnt2++;
  }

  printf("%d\n",min(cnt1,cnt2));
  return 0;
}
