+title: ZADD
+description: The ZADD command adds one or more members with scores to a sorted set in DiceDB. If the key doesn't exist, it creates a new sorted set. If a member already exists, its score is updated. This command is essential for managing sorted data efficiently.

+
+The ZADD command in DiceDB is used to add one or more members with their associated scores to a sorted set. If the specified key doesn't exist, it creates a new sorted set. For existing members, their scores are updated. This command is crucial for maintaining ordered data structures efficiently.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```bash
+ZADD key [NX|XX] [GT|LT] [CH] [INCR] score member [score member ...]
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Description                                                                                                       | Type   | Required |
+| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | -------- |
+| `key`     | The key of the sorted set                                                                                         | String | Yes      |
+| `score`   | The score associated with the member                                                                              | Float  | Yes      |
+| `member`  | The member to be added to the sorted set                                                                          | String | Yes      |
+| `NX`      | Only add new elements. Don't update existing elements.                                                            | Flag   | No       |
+| `XX`      | Only update existing elements. Don't add new elements.                                                            | Flag   | No       |
+| `GT`      | Only update existing elements if the new score is greater than the current score                                  | Flag   | No       |
+| `LT`      | Only update existing elements if the new score is less than the current score                                     | Flag   | No       |
+| `CH`      | Modify the return value from the number of new elements added, to the total number of elements changed            | Flag   | No       |
+| `INCR`    | When this option is specified, ZADD acts like ZINCRBY. Only one score-element pair can be specified in this mode. | Flag   | No       |
+
+## Return values
+
+| Condition                                  | Return Value                                                                                                             |
+| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Command executed successfully              | The number of elements added to the sorted set (not including elements already existing for which the score was updated) |
+| Key holds a value that is not a sorted set | Error message                                                                                                            |
+
+## Behaviour
+
+- If the key does not exist, a new sorted set is created and the specified members are added with their respective scores.
+- If a specified member already exists in the sorted set, its score is updated to the new score provided.
+- Members are always added in sorted order according to their score, from the lowest to the highest.
+- If multiple score-member pairs are specified, they are processed left to right.
+- The `NX` and `XX` options are mutually exclusive and cannot be used together.
+- When `CH` is specified, the command returns the total number of elements changed (added and updated).
+- The `INCR` option allows the command to behave like ZINCRBY, incrementing the existing score of a member (or setting it if it doesn't exist).
+
+## Errors
+
+1. `Wrong type of value or key`:
+
+   - Error Message: `(error) WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value`
+   - Occurs when attempting to use ZADD on a key that contains a non-sorted set value.
+
+2. `Invalid score`:
+   - Error Message: `(error) ERR value is not an integer or a float`
+   - Occurs when the provided score is not a valid floating-point number.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+127.0.0.1:7379> ZADD myzset 1 "one" 2 "two" 3 "three"
+(integer) 3
+127.0.0.1:7379> ZADD myzset 4 "four"
+(integer) 1
+```
+
+### Updating Existing Members
+
+```bash
+127.0.0.1:7379> ZADD myzset 5 "two"
+(integer) 0
+```
+
+### Using NX Option
+
+```bash
+127.0.0.1:7379> ZADD myzset NX 6 "six" 7 "two"
+(integer) 1
+```
+
+### Using XX Option
+
+```bash
+127.0.0.1:7379> ZADD myzset XX 8 "eight" 9 "two"
+(integer) 0
+```
+
+### Using CH Option
+
+```bash
+127.0.0.1:7379> ZADD myzset CH 10 "ten" 11 "two"
+(integer) 2
+```
+
+### using INCR Option
+
+```bash
+127.0.0.1:7379> ZADD myzset INCR 1 "two"
+(integer) 12
+```
+
+## Invalid Usage
+
+```bash
+127.0.0.1:7379> ZADD myzset NX XX 12 "twelve"
+(error) ERR XX and NX options at the same time are not compatible
+```
+
+```bash
+127.0.0.1:7379> ZADD myzset LT GT  15 "twelve"
+(error) ERR GT, LT, and/or NX options at the same time are not compatible
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Use appropriate score values to maintain the desired order of elements in the sorted set.
+- Consider using the `NX` or `XX` options when you want to specifically add new elements or update existing ones, respectively.
+- Use the `CH` option when you need to know the total number of elements changed, including both additions and updates.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The time complexity of ZADD is O(log(N)) for each item added, where N is the number of elements in the sorted set.
+- Scores can be any double-precision floating-point number.
