Redis supports 5 data types. You need to know what type of value that a key maps to, as for each data type, the command to retrieve it is different.
Here are the commands to retrieve key value:
<key>
<key>
<key> <start> <end>
<key>
<key> <min> <max>
Use the TYPE
command to check the type of value a key is mapping to:
<key>
