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 #.

Solution in Haskell (GHC 7.10.3) (judge verdict: Time Limit Exceeded)

import Data.List
main = do
  n <- readLn
  s <- getLine
  let gs = group s
  print $ minimum (map (f gs) [0..n])
f zs y = sum (map length (filter (\x -> head x == '#') (take y zs))) + sum (map length (filter (\x -> head x == '.') (drop y zs)))
