## Functions

### createAndInitializePoolIfNecessary

`function createAndInitializePoolIfNecessary(address token0, address token1, uint160 sqrtPriceX96) external payable returns (address pool)` payable external

Creates a new pool if it does not exist, then initializes if not initialized *Developer note: This method can be bundled with others via IMulticall for the first action (e.g. mint) performed against a pool*
