If $f(z)=z^{-1}$ is integrated on a circle not containing the origin, what is the result?
My guess is that since $f$ doesnt have a primitive on $\Bbb C\setminus\{0\}$ the result cannot be $0$.

As the circle doesn't contain the origin, therefore $\frac{1}{z}$ is analytic on the circle(closed curve), therefore the integral is $0$.
