 Functional testing is conducted to check the functional requirements in the AUT are satisfied or not

Non Functional testing is conducted for the external environments of the application like performance,load etc.,

Functional Testing: testing the features related to the application under test

Non- functional testing: deals with external factors like memory leaks, threads, cpu utilization etc

                     Functional testing means we do functional testing to validate the functionality of the application against functional requirements document.we test for functionality of the application only. 

                     Non-functional testing means we do not test for functionality of the application System testing, load testing, stress testing, performance testing etc come under non functional testing.

Functional testing : Testing the behaviour of the apllication , Here testing is done based on the external behaviour of the application , Internal code is not mattered.
Ex : Suppose if we click a "Submit " button after giving all the details in a relevant page , is it getting saved ? Or is it giving the relevant error message , This is an ex for Functional Tesrting
Non Functional Testing : Testing which is related to performance & internal coding comes under Non Functional testing

Functional

To verify requirements, specifications, rules, objectives, algorithms, etc.

Non-Functional (Operational)
To verify that the system will work in production and will provide consistent and predictable level of service. It includes measuring resource utilization, performing high volume stress tests, testing system break points and testing performance bottlenecks.
