| Command | Syntax | Example | Output | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SET | SET key value | SET myKey "Hello" | "OK" | Set key to hold the string value. If key already holds a value, it is overwritten, regardless of its type. Time Complexity: O(1) |
| GET | GET key | GET myKey | "Hello" | Get the string value of key. If the key does not exist the special value nil is returned. Time Complexity: O(1) |
| MGET | MGET key [key ...] | MGET myKey nonExistentKey | 1) "Hello" 2) (nil) | Returns the values of all specified keys. For every key that does not hold a string value or does not exist, the special value nil is returned. Time Complexity: O(N) |
| INCR | INCR key | INCR myCounter | (integer) 1 | Increments the number stored at key by one. If the key does not exist, it is set to 0 before performing the operation. Time Complexity: O(1) |

Time Complexity: O(N) with N being the number of elements being returned. If N is constant (e.g. always asking for the first 10 elements with COUNT), you can consider it O(1). |

Constant times are very small however, since entries are organized in macro nodes containing multiple entries that can be released with a single deallocation. |
