var ReverseManager = ExceptionRuleReverseManager()
ReverseManager.exceptionElements = "A2"
var input = "Alloha 234"
var result = ReverseManager.reverse(string: input)
print(result)
// result = Aaholl 243
ReverseManager.exceptionElements = "4B"
input = "Ball4 456"
result = ReverseManager.reverse(string: input)
// result = Blla4 465
