One of the most important characteristic of signal is symmetric which may be useful for signal analysis. When signal is symmetric around vertical axis it said to be even signal, when a signal is symmetric about origin is called odd signal.
When a signal is distinguished as even signal when it satisfies the below condition, for a continuous time signal x(t).
x(t)=x(-t) for all t
When a signal is distinguished as even signal when it satisfies the below condition, for a Discrete time signal x(n).
x(n)=x(-n) for all n
Cosine wave is an example of even signal.

When a signal is distinguished as odd signal when it satisfies the below condition, for a continuous time signal x(t).
