[!(#) Redis Strings](#)
The Redis INCR command increments the numeric value stored at key by one.
If the key does not exist, it is first initialized to 0 before performing the INCR operation.
If the value has the wrong type or if the string value cannot be represented as a number, an error is returned.
The value is limited to the range of a signed 64-bit integer.
### Syntax

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> INCR KEY_NAME
### Available Versions
>= 1.0.0
### Return Value
The value of the key after executing the INCR command.
### Example
redis> SET page_view 20 OK redis> INCR page_view (integer) 21 redis> GET page_view # Numeric values are stored as strings in Redis"21"
