1. Nice value goes as regular integer, where 19 is bigger than -20. If question would ask for highest priority - than it's -20. 2. Question asks about regular user. Regular user can not assign nice below 0.

Run COMMAND with an adjusted niceness, which affects process scheduling. With no COMMAND, print the current niceness. Niceness values range from -20 (most favorable to the process) to 19 (least favorable to the process). So it must be 19. The question ask about the maximum possible number not a maximum priotity user can assign where lower = higher pririoty
