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 Kotlin (1.0.0) (judge verdict: Accepted)

import java.util.*

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val sc = Scanner(System.`in`)
    val n = sc.nextInt()
    val s = sc.next()

    var count = 0
    val bc = listOf(0) + s.map {
        if (it == '#') count++
        count
    }

    val c = bc.last()
    val ret = bc.foldIndexed(Integer.MAX_VALUE) { index, acc, next ->
        val cur = bc[index] + ((n - index) - (c - bc[index]))
        Math.min(acc, cur)
    }

    println(ret)
}
