I have created two counters
\newcounter{problem}[section]
\newcounter{solution}[problem]
As expected, problem resets every time section increases.
However, solution does not reset when problem increases.
What is the problem?

I could have sworn that I stole the code from tabularx
that resets LaTeX counters after a trial run but apparently not so....
(Note you should probably use \jobname.foo
as the temporary file name, it is a bit scary that it overwrites any file of that name when run.

Best Answer
You have to use
\stepcounter
or\refstepcounter
to trigger the reset code. If you set the value in other ways then you need to reset the other counter to0
explicitly.If you get
\endcsname
errors that is another problem and probably needs another question. But if you ask a question please give people half a chance of answering it by providing a complete (small) document that produces the error.
