You are working on a deployment automation script for a cloud infrastructure. As part of the script, you need to replace placeholder variables with their corresponding values. These placeholders are enclosed in `${}` and appear in a configuration file.

You are given a code snippet from the configuration file:

```
target: ${BOSH_ENVIRONMENT}
client: ${BOSH_CLIENT}
client_secret: ${BOSH_CLIENT_SECRET}
```

You need to write a function `replacePlaceholders(config: str, placeholders: dict) -> str` that takes the `config` string and a dictionary of `placeholders` as input. The function should return the `config` string with all placeholders replaced by their corresponding values. If a placeholder does not have a corresponding key in the `placeholders` dictionary, leave it unchanged.

For example, if the `config` string is:

```
target: ${BOSH_ENVIRONMENT}
client: ${BOSH_CLIENT}
client_secret: ${BOSH_CLIENT_SECRET}
timeout: ${TIMEOUT}
```

And the `placeholders` dictionary is:

```
{
    'BOSH_ENVIRONMENT': 'example.com',
    'BOSH_CLIENT': 'admin',
    'BOSH_CLIENT_SECRET': 'secretpassword'
}
```

The function should return:

```
target: example.com
client: admin
client_secret: secretpassword
timeout: ${TIMEOUT}
```

Note that the `timeout` placeholder does not have a corresponding key in the `placeholders` dictionary, so it remains unchanged in the returned string.

Write the `replacePlaceholders` function to solve the problem.

Sure, I can help you write that function in Python. Here's a simple implementation:

```python
def replace_placeholders(config, placeholders):
    new_config = config.replace("${", "").replace("}", "")
    for key, value in placeholders.items():
        new_config = new_config.replace(key, str(value))
    return new_config
```

This function works by first removing all the placeholders from the `config` string using `replace("${", "").replace("}", "")`. Then, it iterates over the `placeholders` dictionary and replaces the keys with their corresponding values, using `replace(key, str(value))`.

Note that this function assumes that the `config` string and dictionary `placeholders` have the same format. If the strings in the `placeholders` dictionary are not quoted, you may need to make some adjustments. Also, remember to handle any errors, such as if a placeholder key is not found in the dictionary.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Sure, here's a Python function that should do what you're asking for:

```python
import re

def replacePlaceholders(config: str, placeholders: dict) -> str:
    # Find all placeholders in the config string
    placeholders_re = re.findall(r'\$\{(.*?)\}', config)

    # Replace each placeholder with its corresponding value, if it exists in the dictionary
    for placeholder in placeholders_re:
        if placeholder in placeholders:
            config = config.replace('${' + placeholder + '}', placeholders[placeholder])

    return config
```

This function uses regular expressions to find all placeholders in the `config` string. It then iterates over these placeholders and replaces each one with its corresponding value from the `placeholders` dictionary, if it exists. If a placeholder does not have a corresponding key in the dictionary, it is left unchanged.
