Line 10: * Single-precision [[floating point]] variables with an 8-bit exponent and a 31-bit significand and improved math capabilities, including trigonometry and logarithmic functions * Commands for high-resolution graphics * <code>CHR$~~</code>, <code>ASC~~</code>, <code>STR$</code>, and <code>VAL</code> functions for converting between string and numeric types (both languages did have the <code>ASC</code> function) * Ability to omit the <code>LET</code> command from the [[assignment (computer science)\|assignment]] of a variable * [[User-defined function]]s: simple one-line functions written in BASIC, with a single parameter * Error-trapping, allowing BASIC programs to handle unexpected errors by means of a subroutine written in BASIC Conversely, Applesoft lacked the <code>MOD</code> (remainder) operator that had been present in Integer BASIC. Whereas Wozniak originally referred to his Integer BASIC as "Game BASIC," having written it so he could write a [[Breakout clone]] for his new computer, few [[action game]]s were written in Applesoft BASIC for several reasons:
