In Angular, `NgZone` is a service provided by the Angular framework that helps manage and control the execution of asynchronous tasks and change detection. It is responsible for triggering change detection and updating the view when changes occur. The primary purpose of `NgZone` is to handle and optimize the execution of code that runs outside of Angular’s zone, such as events from third-party libraries or asynchronous operations like timers, AJAX requests, or WebSockets. By default, Angular runs in a zone called the “Angular zone.” When code executes within this zone, Angular’s change detection mechanism is triggered automatically, and the view is updated accordingly. However, when code runs outside of the Angular zone, Angular may not be aware of the changes, leading to potential issues with the application state and view synchronization. `NgZone` provides a way to explicitly run code inside or outside of the Angular zone. It offers two methods for executing code: `run()` and `runOutsideAngular()`.
1. run() : The `run()` method executes the provided function inside the Angular zone. This ensures that any changes triggered by the function will be detected and updated in the view.
