Parallel programming addition using CUDA not successful

I tried to make a array addition using a code below but ended up not adding the array and not error, this is a gpu (CUDA) based parallel program.

#include <cuda_runtime.h>
#include <cuda.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

__global__ void AddInts(int *a, int *b, int count)
{
    int id = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
    if (id < count)
    {
        a[id] += b[id];
    }
}


int main() 
{
    srand(time(NULL));
    int count = 100;
    int *h_a = new int[count];
    int *h_b = new int[count];

    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        h_a[i] = rand() % 1000;
        h_b[i] = rand() % 1000;
    }

    cout << "Prior to addition:" << endl;
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        cout << h_a[i] << " " << h_b[i] << endl;

    int *d_a, *d_b;

    if (cudaMalloc(&d_a, sizeof(int) * count) != cudaSuccess)
    {
        cout << "Nope! No";
        return 0;
    }

    if (cudaMalloc(&d_b, sizeof(int) * count) != cudaSuccess)
    {
        cout << "Nope!";
        cudaFree(d_a);
        return 0;
    }

    if (cudaMemcpy(d_a, h_a, sizeof(int) * count, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice) != cudaSuccess)
    {
        cout << "Could not copy!" << endl;
        cudaFree(d_a);
        cudaFree(d_b);
        return 0;
    }

    if (cudaMemcpy(d_b, h_b, sizeof(int) * count, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice) != cudaSuccess)
    {
        cout << "Could not copy!" << endl;
        cudaFree(d_a);
        cudaFree(d_b);
        return 0;
    }

    AddInts <<<count / 256 + 1, 256 >>> (h_a, h_b, count);

    if (cudaMemcpy(h_a, h_b, sizeof(int) * count, cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost) == cudaSuccess)
    {
        delete[] h_a;
        delete[] h_b;
        cudaFree(d_a);
        cudaFree(d_b);
        cout << "Nope!" << endl;
        return 0;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        cout << "It's " << h_a[i] << endl;

    cudaFree(d_a);
    cudaFree(d_b);


    delete[] h_a;
    delete[] h_b;

    return 0;
}

My results are:

Prior to addition: 188 336 489 593 706 673 330 792 329 588 It's 188
It's 489 It's 706 It's 330 It's 329

Firstly, calculation on the device should use the device memory. Therefore, the line:

AddInts <<<count / 256 + 1, 256 >>> (h_a, h_b, count);

should be:

AddInts <<<count / 256 + 1, 256 >>> (d_a, d_b, count);

Then, you should copy the result from the device memory to the host memory. Therefore, the line:

if (cudaMemcpy(h_a, h_b, sizeof(int) * count, cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost) == cudaSuccess)

should be:

if (cudaMemcpy(h_a, d_a, sizeof(int) * count, cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost) == cudaSuccess)
