Paladrone

Optimize this code bitches!

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
int main()
{

     long a,b,c,d,e,f;
     char exit;

     cout << "Please input a 5 digit paladrone number: ";
     cin >> a;

     b = a/10000;
     cout << b << endl;
     c = (a%10000/1000);
     cout << c << endl;
     d = (a%1000/100);
     cout << d << endl;
     e = (a%100/10);
     cout << e << endl;
     f = a%10;
     cout << f << endl;

     if (b == 0) {cout << "That isn't a 5 digit number";}
     else if (b != c){cout << "The first number doesn't match with the last";}
     else if (f != d) {cout << "The secound number doesn't match with the fourth";}
     else {cout << b << f << e << d << c << " is a paladrone";}     return 0;


}

My eyes, they bleed!

Don't convert the string into a number if you're going to extract the digits, and IF you're going to extract the digits from an int then don't use something as horribly slow as mod, and call cout once with many arguments instead of many times with one argument each time.
