Both buttons are a way to erase or clear an entry. The CE (clear entry) button clears the most recent entry while the C (clear) button will clear all input to the calculator. So, if you are typing a long computation and make a mistake, press the CE button as it will delete just the last digit.

C = wipe all memory

CE= clears current number
