Suppose $f:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ is an analytic function and $f:=u+iv$. Then is it always true that $u_{xx}+u_{yy}=v_{xx}+v_{yy}=0$ ?
A doubt about analytic functions

Analytic function satisfies Cauchy Riemann equation.
i.e.
$u_{x}=v_{y}$ & $u_{y}=-v_{x}$
so, $u_{xx}=v_{xy}$ & $u_{yy}=-v_{yx}$
so, $u_{xx}+u_{yy}=0\ when\ v_{xy}=v_{yx}$
