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: Wrong Answer)

import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as BS

main = do
  n <- readLn
  s <- BS.getLine
  let initW = BS.length $ BS.takeWhile (== '.') s
      tailB = BS.length $ snd $ BS.spanEnd (== '#') s
      blacks = BS.count '#' s
      whites = n - blacks
  print $ min (n - blacks - initW) (n - whites - tailB)
