You're calling reduce on an empty range.

reduce!"a*b"([1, 2, 3]); // fine, translates to 1 * 2 * 3
reduce!"a*b"([7]); // also fine, translates to 7
reduce!"a*b"([]); // what should this be?

Luckily you can call reduce with an extra argument giving the seed value:

reduce!"a*b"(1, []); // Calculates product for both empty and non-empty 
ranges.
