Might be simple just to type 'Arc' in the command line and follow it through from there to give you a clue.
"f" is a character entered, so not a variable calculated earlier in the routine, but... in my 2020 AutoCAD the only options are "C" "E" or a point. It might be a hangover from an earlier version of the command, or a typing error? I guess you are asking because the routine isn't giving you the results you want? try changing it to an E and see what happens.
An alternative might be to replace the "f" with pause as you check, run the LISP again and see what options come up when it gets to that point and pauses for your input... and that will give you a clue also as to what to change it to
