You are given a valid boolean expression as a string expression consisting of the characters '1','0','&' (bitwise AND operator),'|' (bitwise OR operator),'(', and ')'.

\n\n\n\n

Return the minimum cost to change the final value of the expression.

\n\n\n\n

The cost of changing the final value of an expression is the number of operations performed on the expression. The types of operations are described as follows:

\n\n\n\n

Note: '&' does not take precedence over '|' in the order of calculation. Evaluate parentheses first, then in left-to-right order.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: expression = "1&(0|1)"\nOutput: 1\nExplanation: We can turn "1&(0|1)" into "1&(0&1)" by changing the '|' to a '&' using 1 operation.\nThe new expression evaluates to 0. \n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: expression = "(0&0)&(0&0&0)"\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: We can turn "(0&0)&(0&0&0)" into "(0|1)|(0&0&0)" using 3 operations.\nThe new expression evaluates to 1.\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: expression = "(0|(1|0&1))"\nOutput: 1\nExplanation: We can turn "(0|(1|0&1))" into "(0|(0|0&1))" using 1 operation.\nThe new expression evaluates to 0.
