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 Python (3.8.2) (judge verdict: Wrong Answer)

import sys

read = sys.stdin.read
readline = sys.stdin.buffer.readline

sys.setrecursionlimit(10 ** 8)
INF = float('inf')
MOD = 10 ** 9 + 7


def main():
    N = int(readline())
    S = readline().decode('utf-8').strip()
    idx = S.find('.')
    if idx == -1 or idx == N-1:
        print(0)
        sys.exit()
    else:
        count = S[idx:].count('.')
        change = min(count, N-idx-count)
        print(change)
