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 Scala (2.11.7) (judge verdict: Wrong Answer)

object Main extends App {
  var a = readInt
  var get = readLine
  var sum = 0
  var check = 0
  var check2 = 0
  var sum2 = 0
  for(i <- 0 to get.size - 1){
    if(get(i) != '.') {
      check = 1
      check2 = check2 + 1
    } else if (check == 1 && get(i) == '.'){
      sum = sum + 1
      sum2 = sum2 + check2
      check2 = 0
    } else {
      check = 0
      check2 = 0
    }
  }
  println(sum2)
//  println(math.min(sum,sum2))
}
