_main function decides the kind of thought this will be and returns the final output
If the are several defines values, then it uses the Thought function
If only value is defined, then:
	- If both stack and the multiplier "multi" are 1, it gives a result early.
		multi defaults to 1 when not defined (or invalid)
	- Otherwise, it calls the stacks function.

	-- middle_string is pure convenience. It makes reading the output easier.
	-- "valores" is a list of all values given to the function.
	-- This checks if a second value exist

--[[
The "Thought" function returns a string if more than 1 value was defined.
It iterates through all the values defined (contained on the list "valores") 
For each element:
1.- If it is a valid number, then it valuates what kind of number it is.
1.2.- If it is, it then decides what color it need. Currently, it returns:
	Green for positive, Red for negative, None for 0.
2.- It it is not a valid number, it returns the value bolded and large. The idea is to make the mistake obvious.
3.- Once all values are checked, it concatenates all results, with some extras to make sense.
This last part is what it returns.

--[[
The "stacks" function return a string for the case that only 1 value was defined.
1.  If a stack value was defined:
1.1 Is stack equal to 1
1.2 Any other case.
2.  If a stack was not defined, then check the multiplier
2.1 If the multiplier is equal or above one
2.2 If the multiplier is below 1.

Finally, some final code to decide what color to use.
1. Green (forestgreen) for positive.
2. None for 0.
3. Red (firebrick) for negatives.
The retuned value is rounded half-down. (Meaning 0.5 -> 0 )
	string.format("%.2f", number))
To combat that, I add 0.001 to the number calculated. It should be enough.
