Solution in Ruby (2.3.3) (judge verdict: Wrong Answer)

N = gets.to_i
S = gets.to_s
if S[N-1] == '.'
  puts [S.count('.'), S.count('#')].min
else
  if [ S.count('.'), S.count('#')].min == 0
    puts [ S.count('.'), S.count('#')].min
  els if S.count('.') > S.count('#')
    puts [ S.count('.'), S.count('#')].min - 1
  else
    puts [ S.count('.'), S.count('#')].min
  end
end
