# SREM

## Synopsis

**`SREM key value [value ...]`**

This command removes one or more specified members from the set that is associated with the given `key`.

- If the `key` does not exist, the associated set is an empty set, and the return value is zero.
- If the `key` is associated with a value that is not a set, an error is raised.
- If a specified `value` does not exist in the given set, that `value` is ignored and not counted toward the total of removed members.

## Return value

Returns the total number of existed members that were removed from the set.

## Examples

$ SADD yuga_world "America"
