Applesoft BASIC came with the Apple II+, IIe, IIc, IIc+ and IIgs in ROM.
It was written by Microsoft and it used tokens (128 to 234).  There is no 'pi'
token.
The earlier Apple II model came with Integer BASIC in ROM.  It was written by
Steve Wozniak, I believe.  When Applesoft first came out, a RAM version was
included with the system software.
With ProDOS Apple included BASIC.SYSTEM (there were several versions) which I
believe interfaces Applesoft to the disk operating system and also fixed a
couple of bugs.
