If the derivative of an analytic function f is 0, does that mean that the partial derivative of f with respect to x=0 and the partial derivative of f with respect to y=0?   And conversely, suppose I know the partial derivates of a function are both equal to 0, can I then assume that the derivative of the function is 0?

If the derivative of an analytic function f is 0, does that mean that the partial derivative of f with respect to x=0 and the partial derivative of f with respect to y=0?  

And conversely, suppose I know the partial derivates of a function are both equal to 0, can I then assume that the derivative of the function is 0?

Hope this makes sense.
