Getting the magnitude of FFT of a sine wave

I am new to fft and a bit confused about the magnitude. This is what I have
A =1;
t = 0:0.01:1-0.01;
x = A*cos(2*pi*10*t);
xdft = fft(x,1024);
When I plot abs(xdft) I get a magnitude of the length of the wave * amplitude /2. I am confused because I though the magnitude would be 1024*A/2. What am I missing? also since I am trying to learn fft and understand the output it spits out very well, can someone direct me to a good source to start with? Thank you.

You should not zero pad here because as is your frequency of 10 Hz falls directly on a DFT bin.
A =1;
t = 0:0.01:1-0.01;
x = A*cos(2*pi*10*t);
xdft = fft(x);
plot(abs(xdft))
Your data, x, is 100 samples in length. So you get 100*A/2 at -10 Hz and +10 Hz. That is equal to 50.
The zero pad length does not affect the amplitude, just the length of the data vector.
You can of course do:
xdft = fft(x)/length(x);
plot(abs(xdft))

I did in my example above, you wrote fft(x,1024) that is padding out to 1024. I wrote just fft(x)
