31<h2><a name="Examples">Examples</a></h2>First example, basic usage setting a range.<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python" name="code">
32redis&gt; set foo &quot;Hello World&quot;
33OK
34redis&gt; setrange foo 6 &quot;Redis&quot;
35(integer) 11
36redis&gt; get foo
37&quot;Hello Redis&quot;
38</pre>Example of the zero padding behavior.<br/><br/><pre class="codeblock python python" name="code">
39redis&gt; del foo
40(integer) 1
41redis&gt; setrange foo 10 bar
42(integer) 13
43redis&gt; get foo
44&quot;\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00bar&quot;
45</pre>Note that the maximum offset that you can set is 536870911 as Redis Strings are limited to 512 megabytes. You can still create longer arrays of values using multiple keys.<br/><br/><b>Warning</b>: When setting the last possible byte and the string value stored at <i>key</i> does not yet hold a string value, or holds a small string value, Redis needs to allocate all intermediate memory which can block the server for some time.
46On a 2010 Macbook Pro, setting byte number 536870911 (512MB allocation) takes ~300ms,
47setting byte number 134217728 (128MB allocation) takes ~80ms,
48setting bit number 33554432 (32MB allocation) takes ~30ms and
49setting bit number 8388608 (8MB allocation) takes ~8ms.
50Note that once this first allocation is done, subsequent calls to SETRANGE for the same <i>key</i> will not have the allocation overhead.<h2><a name="Patterns">Patterns</a></h2>Thanks to SETRANGE and the analogous GETRANGE command you can use Redis strings as a linear array of memory with O(1) random access. This is a very fast and efficient storage in many real world use cases.<h2><a name="Return value">Return value</a></h2><a href="ReplyTypes.html">Integer reply</a>, specifically: the length of the string after it was modified by the command.
