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.

Solution in Julia (0.5.0) (judge verdict: Wrong Answer)

parseInt(x) = parse(Int, x)
parseBigInt(x) = parse(BigInt, x)
parseFloat(x) = parse(Float64, x)
parseBigFloat(x) = parse(BigFloat, x)
parseMap(x::Array{SubString{String},1}) = map(parseInt, x)

function main()
    n=parseInt(readline())
    s=chomp(readline())
    res1=0
    flg1=false
    res2=0
    flg2=true
    for i in 1:n
        if s[i]=='.'
            if flg1
                res1+=1
            end
        elseif !flg1
            flg1=true
        end
        if s[i]=='#'
            if flg2
                res2+=1
            end
        elseif !flg2
            flg2=false
        end
