class Program
{

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var N = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
        var S = Console.ReadLine();

        var firstBlackIndex = -1;
        // 最初の黒をみつける
        for(int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        {
            if(S[i] == '#')
            {

                break;
            }
        }

        // 黒を見つけた後、右に白がある場合は黒にすればよい
        int count = 0;
        for(int i = firstBlackIndex + 1; firstBlackIndex >= 0 && i < N; i++)
        {
            if(S[i] == '.')
            {
                count++;
            }
        }

        Console.WriteLine(count);
