TypeScript

I have the following function:

    $('td:eq(' + iColumn + ') input', oSettings.oApi._fnGetTrNodes(oSettings))
        .each(function () {
            aData.push(this.value);
         });

In typescript I am getting a message saying:

Error   3   Function declared a non-void return type, but has no return expression

Why am I getting this message? I can resolve the message by saying "return true". Should I always specify a return type for this?
