"feature" vs "function"

[Infin1ty]

Hello everyone,

Sometimes, I find it is kinda difficult for me to distinguish "feature" and " function". I'd like to know if there's any difference between "product features" and "product functions". Anyone care to shed some light on this?

I made up a sentence by using "features" and "functions". Please also correct my sentence if you find anything wrong in it:

Our product supports all the features/functions that similar products from other vendors support(have?).

Many thanks.

Generally, they have different meanings. To my knowledge, feature means physical appearance, function means................something like usage?

I may not be 100% correct, but you can think of it this way:

A feature is what something has, and a function is what something can do.

Example:
A car features a radio. The functionality would be to let drivers and passengers listen to music, news, etc...
or
A software features an user-friendly interface, the function would be to make it easier for the user to use the software.

I hope that helped. :)

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you very much, VW and Niceguy, for your answers. Now I get the difference between them.

Could you be kind enough to comment on my sentence? Does it make sense to you?

"Our product has all the features that similar products from other vendors have."

Here, I think you can use both words you have mentioned as each expresses a different meaning.
