How atoi() works - char to int?

In K&R I found a piece of code which showed how atoi() works. It said like s[i] - '0' will give a numeric value of the character.

Can someone please explain it to me. I tried to search around but they only explain it with integers and not with characters. Say you are given s[i] = 'C'.

Check the following two functions and explain if method1 and method2 are same? 
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
  int *p
  int size = 10;

  p=(int*)calloc(size,sizeof(int));

  while(i != size)
  {
    *p++=1;       /*    METHOD 1       */
    i++;
  }

  i=0;

  while(i != size)
  {
    i[p] = 1;         /*    METHOD 2    */
    i++;
  }

}
