def SentenceCount(L):

    ans=0

    for w in L:

        if w[len(w)-1]=='!' or w[len(w)-1]=='?':

            ans+=1

        elif(w=="."):

            ans+=1

        elif len(w)>1:

            if w[len(w)-1]=='.' and w[len(w)-2]!='.':

                ans+=1

    return ans

           

   

def main():

 

    L=list(map(str,input().split()))

   

    result = SentenceCount(L);

    print(result)

if __name__ == "__main__":

    main()
