## `computeCreateAddress`

### Signature

```solidity
function computeCreateAddress(address deployer, uint256 nonce) external pure returns (address);
```

### Description

Computes the address a contract will be deployed at when deployed with the `CREATE` opcode by `deployer` with the given account `nonce`.

This is the standard `keccak256(rlp([deployer, nonce]))` address derivation used for regular contract creations and `new` expressions.

### Parameters

| Parameter  | Type      | Description                            |
|------------|-----------|----------------------------------------|
| `deployer` | `address` | The address performing the deployment  |
| `nonce`    | `uint256` | The account nonce used for the deployment |

### Returns

| Type      | Description                                 |
|-----------|---------------------------------------------|
| `address` | The address the contract will be deployed at |

### Examples

```solidity [test/ComputeCreateAddress.t.sol]
function testComputeCreateAddress() public {
    address expected = vm.computeCreateAddress(address(this), vm.getNonce(address(this)));

    Counter counter = new Counter();

    assertEq(address(counter), expected);
}
```
