Usage of 'either' without 'or'
I am aware of the usual 'either....or' way of constructing a sentence.. for eg: Either you have the cake or i will.
But how to use only 'either' and is it correct?
For eg: It is not difficult either.
1) How to interpret the above sentence exactly?
2) I am particularly looking for the meaning of the construction ' not (negation).... either'

I would make a sentence like this:
"Learning to speak English is not boring, and it's not difficult either."
"Isn't pretty, and it's not smart either."
"Sally didn't give you the money, and I didn't give it to you either."
In these sentences, "either" is like the opposite of "too".
Jane *is* a teacher, and I am *too*.
Jane *is not* a teacher, and I'm *not* either.
--or--
Jane: I like apples!
Bob: Me too!
Jane: I don't like apples!
Bob: Me neither!
Hope that helps!

This sentence completes a previous statement: e.g., "Cooking oatmeal doesn't take very long." The listener then adds information: "It's not difficult, either." (I.e., "Cooking oatmeal is neither time-consuming nor difficult.")
re. "not either": "The soup is not hot, but it's not cold, either." This could be two sentences in a dialog:
A.: "This soup is not hot!"
B.: "But it's not cold, either. It's just lukewarm."
