How do anomers differ from epimers?

Explanation

Carbohydrates which differ in configuration at the glycosidic carbon (i.e., `C_(1)` in aldoses and `C_(2)` in ketoses) are called anomers. The carbohydrates which differ in configuration at any asymmetric carbon atom other than glycosidic carbon are called epimers. For example, `alpha`-D-glucose and `beta`-D-glucose are anomers (differ at `C_(1)`, glycosidic carbon). On the other hand, glucose and mannose are epimers (differ in configuration at `C_(2)`).
