1.1) = Time complexity O(log(N)) with N being the number of elements in the sorted set

> If member already exists in the sorted set adds the increment to its scoreand updates the position of the element in the sorted set accordingly.If member does not already exist in the sorted set it is added with_increment_ as score (that is, like if the previous score was virtually zero).If key does not exist a new sorted set with the specified_member_ as sole member is crated. If the key exists but does not hold asorted set value an error is returned.
