Is this way for integrating has any fault?

I have tried this $int_{-infty}^{infty}e^{-2|x|/a}cdot frac{d^2}{dx^2}(e^{-2|x|/a})~~dx $
integration in the method below-
$$int_{-infty}^{infty}e^{-2|x|/a}cdot frac{d^2}{dx^2}(e^{-2|x|/a})~~dx\=int_{-infty}^{0}e^{-2(-x)/a}cdot frac{d^2}{dx^2}(e^{-2(-x)/a})~~dx +int_{0}^{infty}e^{-2x/a}cdot frac{d^2}{dx^2}(e^{-2x/a})~~dx\
=int_{-infty}^{0}e^{2x/a}cdot frac{d^2}{dx^2}(e^{2x/a})~~dx+int_{0}^{infty}e^{-2x/a}cdot frac{d^2}{dx^2}(e^{-2x/a})~~dx\
=4int_{-infty}^{0}e^{4x/a}~~dx+4int_{0}^{infty}e^{-4x/a}~~dx\
=4cdot frac{a}{4}+4cdot frac a4=2a$$

I am not sure I am correct or not. Please help me with this integral and correct me if I am wrong at any step. Any help will be appreciated.

    The derivatives bring down $4/a^{2}$, not just 4.

Let $a>0$. Function $f=e^{-2|x|/a}cdot frac{d^2}{dx^2}(e^{-2|x|/a})$ is even. Then
$$int_{-infty}^{infty}f,dx=2int_{0}^{infty}f,dx\
=2int_{0}^{infty}e^{-2x/a}cdot frac{d^2}{dx^2}(e^{-2x/a}),dx\
=2int_{0}^{infty}frac{4 {e^{-frac{4 x}{a}}}}{{{a}^{2}}}dx=frac2a$$
