Piece-wise functions
A function is piece-wise, if it is defined over a union of domains which have different rules for each set of domain.

A function is said to be even if
Similarly, a function is odd if
In other words, the graph of an even function is symmetric about the y-axis while the graph of an odd function is symmetrical about the origin.
