I'm afraid, the generating side is outside my control :( - I am looking at
this - https://api.iextrading.com/1.0/stock/aapl/chart/3m
In this case, scaling everything does not seem so bad - infact, the
solution i was trying was to simply add a ".0" to all the numbers that did
not have it.
Also, would it not be okay to say that all the numbers in the JSON (or some
other input) are scaled? It's for the user to be aware and deal with it
appropriately.
