## Return information

**RESP2:**

With `$`-based path argument: [Bulk string reply](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec#bulk-strings) containing a JSON array with one element per matching path: the new value, or `null` if the matching value is not a number. The array is empty if no path matches.

With `.`-based path argument: [Bulk string reply](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec#bulk-strings) representing the stringified new value. If the path matches more than one number, the command updates all of them and returns the last new value. [Simple error reply](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec#simple-errors) if no matching value is a number.

With either path argument: [simple error reply](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec#simple-errors) if the key doesn't exist or the result is out of range.

**RESP3:**

The path syntax doesn't change the reply. [Array reply](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec#arrays) with one element per matching path: an [integer reply](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec#integers) or [double reply](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec#doubles) containing the new value, or a [null reply](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec#nulls) if the matching value is not a number. The array is empty if no path matches.

[Simple error reply](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/reference/protocol-spec#simple-errors) if the key doesn't exist or the result is out of range.
