How can I reset the label number?

Question

form Numbering equation and theorems outside the margin

I got a solution. but I want to reset the number. like (1) (2) (3) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (1) (2) (3) how can i do?

you want to reset the counter based on what, e.g., each chapter or each section, etc. please confirm that... — MadyYuvi, Sep 12 '19 at 13:22

What I came up with is this.: Its somewhat automatic so you do not have to watch your counter resets …

And the references are Eq.~\ref{eq:mc2}, Th.~\ref{thE}, Ex.~\ref{exE}.

Now somehow you have to get checkcounter to be executed when label is called. I had no luck with that yet.

Something like this could help in this case. Redefining the equation command or theorem command. Custom theorem numbering

How can I reset the label number?
