Note that the above definitions are for both real and complex values.
For $n=0$, the result of the reduction operation is $0$, except for
$\mathrm{product}$, which is $1$, $\mathrm{min}$, which is $+\infty$,

\subsection{High-level Reduction Operations}
The following high-level reduction operations are also implemented.
