The process for verifying the presence or absence of elements in an array depends on the programming language being used. However, in general, the following steps can be followed:

1. Determine the element you are looking for.
2. Loop through the array, checking each element to see if it matches the element you are looking for.
3. If the element is found, return true or the index of the element.
4. If the element is not found, return false or a value indicating that the element is not present.

For example, in JavaScript, you can use the indexof() method to check for the presence of an element in an array:

const array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

if (array.indexOf(3) !== -1) {
  console.log("3 is present in the array.");
} else {
  console.log("3 is not present in the array.");
}

In Python, you can use the "in" operator to check for the presence of an element in a list:

mylist = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

if 3 in mylist:
  print("3 is present in the list.")
else:
  print("3 is not present in the list.")

These are just a few examples of how to verify the presence or absence of elements in an array.
