Homework Statement


Hi!
I am stuck on an exercise in the complex analysis course. The problem is:
"Show that the only analytic functions f that depends on only |z| must be the constant functions."

The Attempt at a Solution


I am not sure if I undertand the question, is it f(z)=|z|, or maybe f(z)=g(|z|)?

It's the lattet. Note this is equivalent to saying that f is constant on each circle of radius r
 
Thanks a lot!
I'll try to solve this now, I'll be back if I get stuck. ;)
