Counting Problem

Write your question here.
Hello All.
I'm new here and also new to C, C++. I use Dev-C++.
I want to learn to learn C++ for my basic needs.
First of all i have search whole google for this problem for about 1 week and still can't find any solution.
So i come to this problem. I want to create console that ask me to input a number, and if number is correct in "if statement", need to be counted starting from 1,2,3..., and if number is incorrect in "if statement", need to be counted from 1 again.
I can do that by put 2 counters start from 0. But what i'm asking for is when i hit a correct number after incorrect number in "else statement" i want the counter to be reset to 0 and start again counting like 1,2,3...
Problem in this code is that the counter won't reset and just keep adding counts.

What if done:
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 1
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 2
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 3
Please Enter The Number. 4
Miss Times 4
Please Enter The Number. 4
Miss Times 5
Please Enter The Number. 4
Miss Times 6
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 7
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 8
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 9

What i need:
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 1
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 2
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 3
Please Enter The Number. 4
Miss Times 1
Please Enter The Number. 4
Miss Times 2
Please Enter The Number. 4
Miss Times 3
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 1
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 2
Please Enter The Number. 1
Hit Times 3
and so on...

Please help me, and thank you all for rewiew
